Galaxy Quest NSEA Protector Ship Model Photoetch Detail Set

The must-have accessory for anyone planning to light Pegasus Hobby's new NSEA Protector kit*, this photoetch provides opaque engine grills to enhance your lighting.

Also includes engine enhancements for the command deck landing craft to detail the back of the engines, and cover the hollow undersides of the engines. A flight deck is also included**.

* Electronics not included.

** Because the movie's flight deck is a major victim of the "Tardis affect", the photoetched insert is not accurate to the film's matte painting.

What is Photoetch?

Photoetched parts are thick metal foils with portions eaten away by acid. A light-sensitive emulsion is covered with photographic negative and any unexposed areas of the emulsion are washed away. These areas can be eaten away by the acid. By properly designing the artwork, extremely detailed parts can be made.

Typically photoetch is used for cockpit detailing and other fine detail that is generally to small for injection or resin molding.

It ia also ideal for use as a light block in small or tight areas of a model that will be lit such as a grid or other area that would be difficult to mask effectively.

Also great for raised lettering and detail.
